Join the vanguards

PASSION – ADVENTURE – PURPOSE

Prior to the Covid pandemic Bangkokvanguards consisted of a diverse team of urban explorers, advocates, anthropologists, street photographers and documentarians who were on a mission to reinvent the way we experience Bangkok.

 

Our goal is to rebuild a passionate team that shifts the narrative and make mega-cities more accessible to visitors through a people, culture and community centric approach in which we document the living history and challenges and aspirations through the lens of culture, diversity, history, local heritage, and entrepreneurship. We want to hire talents who support the creation of stories and design of travel experiences that reflect the diversity, ingenuity and imperfect beauty of Bangkok in the 21st century.

 

If exploration, journalism and showing people your city is your passion, then check out our career opportunities and reach out to us.
